KBKV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBKV reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 292 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 14% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 4% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 09 had the best headwind 33% of the time, runway 03 27%, and winds were calm 29% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 92 days a year. 69% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 7% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 87 days a year, and fog or mist on 212. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 5% in July.
Field elevation is 76 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,904 ft, 1,828 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 24% of the time and averaged 5.2 kt overall. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and July the calmest.
